Meridian Petroleum signs Orion field lease
LONDON (AFX) - Meridian Petroleum PLC, the oil and gas company with key
assets in the US and Australia, said it has signed a lease on the Orion field,
100 pct working interest, in Oakland County, Michigan.
The company said, based on data from earlier wells, the lease contains a
proven and probable shut in reserve of 3 BCF of gas in place with approximately
2.7 BCF recoverable. The gas content is pipeline quality after treatment and
also contains condensate.
It added it expects to begin drilling operations early in the second quarter
of this year.

Meridian Petroleum (AIM: MRP), the oil & gas company with key assets in the USA
and Australia, announced on 24 January that its Calvin 36-1 well on the Calvin
Field, Winn Parish Louisiana (80% WI), had encountered a substantial gas show in
the Sligo Petit Zone. The well was flowed on a limited open hole test with a
25/64 inch choke in excess of 1mmcfpd.



Based upon the analysis of previous production data from the Sligo Petit Zone,
the Company anticipates the following break down of the gas and condensate mix -
Carbon Dioxide 3.14% to 11.66%, Nitrogen 3.75% to 5.28%, Methane 76.97% to
83.11% and Propane 0.95% to 2.36%.



Due to the default and non consent of the original owner of the Calvin lease,
Meridian's Net Revenue Interest will increase to 67.75% from 60% until a
significant financial penalty is paid through the increased production revenue.



Meridian is moving ahead as quickly as possible to complete the well and
commence production into the nearby pipeline.





Anthony Mason, Chief Executive of Meridian said:



"We are very pleased with the likely rich condensate content of the Calvin well
which will enhance our revenue from the field. While unfortunate, the previous
lease owners default increases Meridian's revenue share enabling costs to be
recovered more quickly."

My sharers are
D1 Oils (DOO) risky but could be my best in time,
